Understanding means "under where you stand", which is the Earth and all the life experience you gained from walking on this planet. It's not knowledge. It's not even intelligence. It's the lived wisdom you gain from life experience.

It's developing a greater understanding of yourself, people, and life. It's applying your knowledge, and proving to yourself if what you think you know is actually true for you or not in real life. It's knowing who you are, and what your true purpose is. And it's develop a more compassionate understanding of others, and a higher truth

You gain a greater understanding by expanding your mind, learning better ways, being more curious and teachable, questioning everything, dropping the rigid beliefs that no longer serve you.

The more you truly understand, the more it opens your imagination to greater possibilities, and the more you get your sense of purpose back.

Not only will that help you overcome any rigidity, confusion, or lack of purpose — but it will also add more certainty, direction, and optimism back into your life.
